Just seen these and was wondering if anybody on here has used them or if they're any good? Might be the kind of thing my nephew and niece might be into:

Looks like a pogo stick for each leg.

Looks a bit mad and the video is quite impressive (although if you lived on that street, you'd have to punch the bloke)

they were on one of the scrapheap proggys.. USA i think, one of the tech bods had come up with them, an experiment on how to enable people top run like animals,,

wow - i saw these on a proggy like tomorrows world or similar about 5 years ago - i thought at the time they looked way cool - you can run like the wind with them - like 30moh plus easily......and I've always wondered about them since....

Probably take some getting used to though - the dude who invented them was an ace - he made them after studying deer etc and how they used spring tendons in their hind legs for immense power....
